Ive been trying to ditch Amazon by going straight to vendor websites I love. But then in the checkout screens they are all using Amazon delivery services.
A lot of us were warning them against putting their data and having their infrastructure rely on 3rd party suppliers years ago when the cloud mania was taking of.
At the very least, if you must contract computing power because of having spiky needs, only use clouds with open protocols so that you can move much more easilly to a different supplier if you need to, rather than being tied down to a single provider because your codebase was made on top of their libraries.
Fucking finally. Crazy how it took some jingoistic bullshit to ditch these fuckers.
But hey, it’s the UE, they’re in favor huge corporations doing shitty things. They’re just nationalists.
Doesn’t any reputable business have a cloud exit strategy ? I’m glad those who don’t are thinking about ways out now.
Cloud exit strategy? Most are eager to get on the cloud and ditch their on prem racks.
Probably wrong use of terminology, but I’m almost certain that they’ve meant plan B in case one cloud provider goes down.
I hope this brings some return to on-premise. Most businesses can fully operate with a cheap sever instead of sending it all to azure.
Still more expensive in most cases simply because you need someone who manages it.
Well you also need someone that manages the Azure, get them to do it.
I fully accept this is because of lack of experience but i find it easier to deploy to my own linux server then to azure.
For Azure, there are established practices and recipes in place tho - you can hire an azure consultant that sets up the entire thing within 2 days, costs a couple thousand and at that point, it runs.
Don’t get me wrong, I love managing everything myself and I would love it we could go back to the self-hosted business time, but for larger businesses, outsourcing everything to the cloud is just better, not only cost-wise, but also because you’re basically handing the responsibility away.
